Cat 4 Hurricane Ida

 All eyes on Hurricane Ida currently a Cat 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds and a pressure of 933 mb as of 8:00 am eastern time. Ida is expected to intensify just a little more before landfall perhaps reaching 155 mph. Ida is about 50 miles away from making official landfall. 


Catastrophic storm surge is expected 12-16 feet in Southeastern Louisiana between Morgan city and mouth of the Mississippi river.

The time has run out to evacuate, you do not want to be stuck in traffic while the Hurricane is making landfall. Shelter in place and be prepared to power outages for long periods of time. The NHC has strong wording mentioning some areas may be unlivable for a period of time.

Please stay tuned to the NHC and the National Weather Service for immediate broadcast.


Ohio Valley 

We will see 6-10 inches of rain by the time Ida reaches our area, at that time Ida will be a Tropical Depression. A hydrological outlook has been issued along with a Moderate Risk for flooding on day 3.
